"During the Iran-Iraq war [when he was backed by the US, nlpwessex], Saddam Hussein discovered the most lethal chemical warfare agent was a combination of sulfur mustard gas with hydrogen cyanide, which he used in artillery shells to slaughter thousands of Iranians. It was in effect this same combination that the FBI used to slaughter 87 men, women and children in Waco.... The question is: who authorized the CS/MC combination? CS is not normally dissolved into a solution. Who knew about MC and could order it to be a solvent for CS?.... There are few more monstrous crimes against humanity than torturing children to death in screaming pain, poison-gassing them to death on purpose.... As America comes to grips with the danger and evil of Saddam Hussein and gets ready to extinguish it, America also needs to come to grips with the evil it condoned at Waco."
America's Saddam

"In his State of the Union speech at the beginning of the year, President George Bush spoke of an 'axis of evil' comprising Iran, North Korea and Iraq. President Bush summarised Washington's case against Baghdad in one paragraph, broadly outlining four issues. He said ....[Iraq] is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens, leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children."
Washington's case against Saddam
BBC Online, 7 March 2002

"Last week, because a former FBI man went public, FBI officials finally admitted lying to Reno when they said they hadn't used pyrotechnic devices. The 1997 documentary has pictures of the two pyrotechnic gas grenades the FBI admitted using.... A Dow Chemical fire expert and a former EPA gas expert testify on the flammability of the CS gas, and how it creates hydrogen cyanide when it burns. That's the same stuff used in gas chambers. The film shows a photo of the burned corpse of an 8-year-old, bent backward like a prawn because of muscle contractions characteristic of hydrogen cyanide poisoning. The gas expert says that prisoners condemned to the gas chamber are strapped down so witnesses to the execution don't have to see that kind of death.... The mothers [at Waco] should have saved their children by sending them out, said the FBI."

"America has a Higher Destiny. As with generations past, our destiny can take us to places we have never been, or can only imagine. Places of peace. Places of plenty. Places of hope. Places of love. We have a right to live our ideals. That is our birthright. We should not trade it for the pretensions of empire. Nor for delusions of grandeur, nor for all the gold in Fort Knox, all the tea in China or all the oil in Iraq. America has a Higher Destiny. Today I want to speak to you about the America that can be.... According to the Washington
Post, Iraq used mustard gas against Iran with the help of intelligence from the CIA. Intelligence reports cited the use of nerve gas by Iraq against Iran. Iraq's punishment? The US reestablished full diplomatic ties around Thanksgiving of 1984. Throughout 1989 and 1990, US companies, with the permission of the first Bush government, sent to the government of Saddam Hussein tons of mustard gas precursors, live cultures for bacteriological research, helped to build a chemical weapons factory, supplied West Nile virus, supplied fuel air explosive technology, computers for weapons technology, hydrogen cyanide precursors, computers for weapons research and development and vacuum pumps and bellows for nuclear weapons plants. 'We have met the enemy,' said Walt Kelly's 'Pogo, 'And he is us.' US....... I have a vision of nations work together, cooperatively, using what President Roosevelt called the 'science of human relationships.' That is the basis for the creation of a Department of Peace, which seeks to make nonviolence an organizing principle in our society for domestic as well as international policy. War is not inevitable unless we refuse to work for peace, patiently and tirelessly....Courage will guide our nation through this crisis. Courage will enable us to set our government right. Courage will enable us to go to the campuses, to labor halls, to church halls and to the streets to organize against a war which will undermine our nation, ruin our reputation, kill innocent people and damage the economy of our nation and the world. We are at a critical and creative moment in human history where we have it within our power to change the world. It is about evolutionary politics which follows an evolutionary consciousness. We can do it be changing the way we look at the world. By contemplating and realizing the universal brotherhood and sisterhood of all persons. We can do it by tapping our own unlimited potential to think anew. I tell you there is another America out there. It is ready to be called forward. It is the America of our dreams. It is the America of the flag full of Stars. It is the America which is in our hearts and we can make it the heart of the world."

"Next month’s Tory conference is being turned into a carbon copy of the last US Republican convention as Iain Duncan Smith attempts to emulate the success of George Bush in America. The Times has learnt that John McLaughlin, a Republican pollster and political consultant, is being employed by Conservative Central Office to advise on transforming the party’s image. When Mr Duncan Smith unveiled his own version of the agenda with a speech to the party’s spring conference in Harrogate, he lavished praise on the President. He said: 'I met President Bush when I visited America last December and we can learn a great deal from him about showing that what we believe helps everyone, particularly the most vulnerable in society.'

"President Bush faced world anger last night over America's seven-nation nuclear hit list. British MPs joined the outcry after a leaked Pentagon report revealed contingency plans to use nuclear weapons against China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria and Libya.

Bush's Nuclear Lunacy
Daily Mirror, 11 March 2002

"Reports from Israel say that if the country were attacked by Iraq with chemical or biological weapons, it could respond with a nuclear strike. The reports follow remarks by the head of the Israeli air force warning that, in the event of an Iraqi attack, Israel would not show the restraint it exercised in the Gulf War of 1991."
Israeli nuclear strike on Iraq 'possible'
BBC Online, 15 August 2002

"According to a new Report by Colonel Warner D. Farr for the US Air Force Counter Proliferation Center (USCPC) Israel has four hundred nuclear weapons, some of which are hydrogen bombs, a 'boosted' nuclear bomb up to a thousand times stronger powered than a regular nuclear weapon. It produces immense heat and a shock waves affecting an 'extensive area'. Until now it was thought that the US, Britain, France, China and Russia alone possessed them. (Ironically, the USCPC Report points out that it is the US which is largely responsible the proliferation of Israel's nuclear weapons.) President Bush has clearly stated that the US now reserves the right to first use of nuclear weapons, even on non nuclear states. It seems unlikely to deter ally Israel from possibly catastrophic escalation, leading to potential vaporization of much of the region."

"The war profiteers are desperate for their war. That desperation was written across Bush's face in the news today for all the world to see. And the desperation for war and war-profits must be matched by the desire and the will for peace. Keep calling, visiting, and faxing your congressmen. But more than that, have the courage to face up to your friends and neighbors and ask that they do the same. More of them will agree with you than you might think, and those that do not are mere shills for the war profiteers, eager to share in the spoils if they but help sell the war to the people. Such lackeys do not deserve your respect, much less your fear. Keep up the pressure. Congress is starting to waver.

"Canada's Prime Minister has said that the United States and the Western world were partly to blame for the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington a year ago....

US policy blamed for terror raids
London Times, 13 September 2002

"Those who advocate an attack on Iraq have short memories. Since World War II, the use of force by the United States has consistently failed to neutralize its adversaries beyond the short term. And in the Middle East, wars and covert operations have only produced further conflict. A global response to Sept. 11 could usher in a new era of multilateral cooperation and revamped international law to deal with the new transnational threats. An attack on Iraq would do exactly the opposite. The immediate threat to world stability is coming not from the Iraqi dictator but rather from the democratically elected government of the world's superpower. Americans, the ball is in your court."

The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a 'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff).....

BBC Online, 19 Sept 2002

"Just as Adolf Hitler was able to convert the burning of the Reichstag into the raison d’etre for his military campaigns and domestic police-state, George Bush has been exploiting the World Trade Center attacks to advance a political agenda that goes far beyond the brutalities of early September..... There is scarcely a pip being squeaked anywhere in the major media over any of this.... how different is our mindset from that of the Germans who, in 1933, watched as their police state was rapidly put into place and who, fifteen years later, could not imagine that anything untoward had taken place?

When Didn’t They Know It, and What About You?
Butler Shaffer, Southwestern University School of Law, USA, 13 June 2002

"... I am not now so confident of my own military expertise as to deny that, if the Pentagon calculates Saddam may be removable by military means, the Pentagon may be right. It could even prove a pushover. That is what I fear. Such a victory would reinforce worldwide an impression already growing: that no country inimical to American interests is safe from American attack. The consequences of such a perception would be immense, perverse, and mostly peaceful. Again my fellow doves are wrong to predict an unending series of US invasions; after one or two pushovers there would be peace because nations would stop standing up to the Americans. Nobody’s interests and certainly not Europe’s would be unaffected by this new hegemony. Terrorism would then become the only available weapon against it."
Mathew Paris
London Times, 14 September 2002

"If we cannot have Pax Britannica, then calling Pax Americana 'Pax Atlantica' instead would be some kind of compensation. No longer emperors, we [the British] would at least be associated in our cousins’ empire.... I am unsettled by American imperialism and cringe at our Prime Minister’s support for it. But I am a columnist and bark at other people’s wheels for my living. A prime minister’s job is to carve what advantage he can for his own country and Mr Blair may have concluded that, as Britain cannot pilot this pantechnicon, we might as well climb on the back. I’ll stay barking from the ditch but I understand where Mr Blair is taking my country, and I understand why."

Here's What The Bush Team Was Planning All Along
Before 'W' Seized Power In 2000

"A secret blueprint for US global domination [prepared by the Bush team before the 2000 presidential election and discovered Sept 2002]... says: 'The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.' The PNAC document supports a 'blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests'....[The report] spotlights China for 'regime change' saying 'it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia'..... calls for the creation of 'US Space Forces', to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent 'enemies' using the internet against the US..... The PNAC report also... refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership'...Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: '....... These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.'"

Ever been suckered?

"No state will be allowed to challenge the military supremacy of the United States under a national security strategy for the 21st century revealed by President Bush yesterday.... The 33-page document, submitted to Congress yesterday, also reveals the previously unstated determination of the US to do everything possible to maintain its status as the world’s sole superpower.... instead of easing its spending on defence, like many Nato countries, the Pentagon is increasing it. The US defence budget for 2003 is $400 billion, an increase of 6 per cent. Washington spends as much on defence as the next eight largest military powers combined.... Mr Bush’s warning, and the tone of the document, were a far cry from his stance during the presidential election two years ago when he said that he would pursue a 'humble foreign policy'....[but not from what his team was planning all along, nlpwessex]"

Questions That Won't Be Asked About Iraq

"On Thursday President Putin sent a letter to Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, invoking Article 51 of the UN Charter — the right of self-defence against an armed attack — in which he used language reminiscent of the Bush Administration’s War on Terror. The letter said: 'If the Georgian leadership does not take concrete actions to destroy the terrorists, and bandit incursions continue from its territory, Russia will take adequate measures to counteract the terrorist threat.' Sergei Ivanov, the Russian Defence Minister, was reported as saying that there were stronger grounds for action against President Shevardnadze of Georgia than against Saddam.... However, Washington is also looking to establish a foothold in the oil-rich Caspian region, and Georgia is emerging as the best ally through which to do so [so terrorism is fine here if it keeps Russia distracted and the US can get the oil, nlpwessex]. Earlier this year the US sent about 100 military training personnel to Georgia, angering Russia, which still sees that country as being in its own backyard....."

Why Britain Is Now Sucking Up To Gaddafi When It Previously Used Bin Laden Allies To Try And Assassinate Him. Yes, you've got it - It's That Dirty Oil Stuff Again

"The fate of John O'Neill, the Irish-American FBI agent who for years led US investigations into Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, is the most chilling revelation in the book Bin Laden: The Hidden Truth, published in Paris this week... He complained bitterly that the US State Department - and behind it the oil lobby who make up President Bush's entourage - blocked attempts to prove bin Laden's guilt..... In August 2001, O'Neill resigned in frustration and took up a new job as head of security at the World Trade Centre. He died in the September 11th attack... Brisard and Dasquié discovered that the first country to issue an international arrest warrant against bin Laden was not the US, but Moamar Gadafy's Libya, in March 1998.... Bin Laden supported a fundamentalist group called al-Muqatila... Al-Muqatila wanted to assassinate Gadafy, whom it considered an infidel. According to the former MI5 agent David Shayler, British intelligence - also in league with al-Muqatila - tried to assassinate Gadafy in November 1996. It was because of British collaboration with al-Muqatila that the Interpol warrant [for Bin Laden] was ignored, Brisard says..."
US efforts to make peace summed up by 'oil'
Irish Times, 19 November 2001

"With a flick of his pen, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has taken another step to becoming the richest and most powerful leader in Africa. The Libyan dictator is reported to have signed a lucrative deal with the Central African Republic giving him the sole right to exploit oil and mineral resources for 99 years.... Revelations of the colonel’s latest monopoly deal came as the Libyan regime renewed its $360 million (£230 million) contract to supply Zimbabwe with oil in exchange for a massive stake in the nation’s main assets..... The West is monitoring the aquisitions closely [and as a result now thinks Gaddafi is wonderful - see below, nlpwessex]... The Colonel has [also] reportedly taken a stake in Mozambique's oil infrastructure...."
Gaddafi extends influence with oil deal
London Times, 14 September 2002

"Signs of a rapprochement between Libya and Britain grew this week when a British foreign office minister met Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi at home in his desert tent..... And there's little doubt that as far as the British government is concerned, the era of treating Libya as a dangerous pariah is all but over...... It's amazing when you think of recent history: the Libyan embassy shoot out in 1984 that killed a British policewoman and for 15 years caused London to cut off relations. The attack on US servicemen at a Berlin discotheque that led Ronald Reagan - with Mrs Thatcher's help - to bomb Libya in 1986. The suspicions that Gaddafi was helping to arm the IRA; not to mention Libya's involvement in the Lockerbie bombing, still the subject of UN sanctions. But perhaps truth is always stranger than fiction. Like the shifting political sands George Orwell describes in his novel 1984, [even the BBC has worked it out!, nlpwessex] in the last two decades international alliances have been turned upside down. Twenty years ago, it was Saddam Hussein who was the ally, the West's best hope against Iran's fundamentalist mullahs."

"An ex-MI5 officer has joined David Shayler in speaking out about mismanagement in the UK's security service. Jestyn Thirkell-White, who resigned from the service in 1996, said MI5 was in desperate need of reform and modernisation. He said it was 'totally wrong' that no investigations had been launched into Mr Shayler's claims - including one that MI6 colluded in an assassination plot to kill Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi.... 'MI5 and special branch were acting like the very police state they are supposed to be protecting us from.' [said Mr Thirkell-White] Mr Thirkell-White and Mr Shayler served together in the anti-terrorism T Branch of MI5..... John Wadham, director of Liberty, which represents both Mr Shayler and Mr Thirkell-White, said the new revelations confirmed what Mr Shayler had been saying all along. 'It is now time to stop attacking whistleblowers and instead to investigate the allegations they have made about MI5,' he said. Mr Shayler, currently in exile in France, faces attempts in the UK to prosecute him under the Official Secrets Act."
Ex-MI5 agent backs Shayler
BBC Online, 22 July 2000

"....the real criminals in this affair are the British Government and the intelligence services. The Government has a duty to uphold the law. It cannot simply be ignored because crimes are carried out by friends of the Government. In November 1999, I sent the Home Secretary Jack Straw detailed evidence of involvement by MI6 officers in a plot to murder Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi. Although the assassination failed when attempted in 1996, innocent Libyan civilians were killed. In a dossier I presented to Mr Straw, I included the names of those who had also been briefed about the plot within MI5. .....When presented with this compelling evidence these very senior Ministers should, of course, have called in the police immediately. We would never countenance two police officers conspiring to murder a criminal. Why should we accept that two MI6 officers could do the same to Colonel Gaddafi? This week, I will be writing to both the police and the Crown Prosecution Service asking them to investigate the role of the Government in this case.... I am left wondering why Sir Stephen did not perform his clear public duty and call in Special Branch to investigate the Gadaffi plot as soon as he realised that MI6 did not have Ministerial authorisation to plot to assassinate a foreign head of state. In August 1998, I also pointed out publicly that MI5 had evidence of the plot on its file SF754-0168. .... The Government's failure to ensure that two MI6 officers are brought to justice for their part in planning a murder is what I would expect of despots and dictators.... It is corruption. It is sleaze. And sleaze was where New Labour came in as a supposed breath of fresh air after the Conservatives had grown corrupt. ..... This tragic episode is fast becoming British Watergate..... If people want to live in a country where the intelligence services work in absolute secrecy with no respect for the rule of law or basic human rights, they should go and live in Libya, Iraq or Iran..... As the head of Britain's intelligence services, Tony Blair now has a simple - and honourable - choice. To expose the truth."
Don't shoot the messenger
David Shayler, London Observer, 27 August 2000

"The threat of legal action [against Shayler] has led to a dramatic escalation of tensions, with Shayler revealing to the Observer the identity of the two serving intelligence officers who he claims were involved in the alleged plot against Gaddafi. The paper said that for legal reasons it was prevented from publishing the names.... It is now thought that Shayler is also prepared to name others names, including the agent's boss, code-named PT16, who is alleged to have authorized the operation, and his own MI5 line manager, to whom he voiced concerns about what he called a 'Boys' Own' operation.... Shayler said he had embarked on the path of disclosing intelligence operations in a bid to force the government to launch a full inquiry into the security services, which, he claims, are increasingly out of control."

"Shayler's latest claims made on the BBC's Panorama are even more embarrassing for the government. The BBC was allowed to interview Shayler in Paris after his claims were widely reported in the international media and after Shayler threatened to publish them on the internet, thus bypassing a gagging order imposed by the Blair government. The Panorama programme was due to be broadcast on August 6, but was held up by the Security Services until August 7 and censored. According to his interview, a Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) officer handed £100,000 to an Arab agent to mastermind the assassination of Gaddafi. The agent, codenamed Tunworth, had links with a militant Islamic group who arranged a failed attempt on Gaddafi's life in late February 1996. Tunworth's MI6 handler--PT16B--met Shayler while he was in MI5 section G9, responsible for monitoring Libyan activities. Shayler's girlfriend, another ex-MI5 agent Annie Machon, says he 'headed up' the section for two years from August 7, 1994. PT16B told Shayler that a bomb exploded under the wrong car, Gaddafi was unhurt and several civilians were killed or injured. He said that authorisation for the operation, 'went all the way to the top.'.... In its attempts to silence Shayler, the Blair government is facing great difficulties. Accusing him of breaching the Official Secrets Act while at the same time claiming his stories are a fantasy is untenable. More fundamentally Labour's claims to open government and concern for ethical foreign policy are once again being exposed as pure hypocrisy, especially following the earlier scandal over government involvement with the Sandline mercenaries in the overthrow of the military regime in Sierre Leone."
Former British MI5 agent alleges plot to assassinate Gaddafi
World Socialist Web Site, 13 August 1998

"Indeed, why is Sheikh still not being charged for his alleged involvement in the 911 attacks now that he is finally detained?.... If such embarrassing connections were to have real implications, then the execution of Sheikh would certainly be useful in dealing with the CIA's problem of how to limit further investigation into any wider role it may have played in the events surrounding 911 via its involvement with the ISI...... In this respect the clamour from the Bush administration to spare Sheikh's life so that he can give evidence as to General Mahmoud's and his own involvement in the transfer of 911 money to Mohammed Atta is deafening by virtue of its total absence. Would the White House not like to know the details of that? Would the families of those who died in the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon not like to know too? When are those families going to sue the Bush administration over this?.... Sheikh is a British born and educated Pakistani. He is a British Citizen. But this has not resulted in the British government securing an open trial for him. The BBC confirms that: 'News that a British-born Islamic militant has been found guilty of the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl has been welcomed by the Foreign Office.' .....The possibility that Sheikh has been framed (certainly he is an ideal candidate given his previous involvement with militant groups) in order to engineer his execution cannot be discounted.... Given the widespread culture of deception and lying uncovered within the British Foreign Office during the Scott inquiry into the UK's illegal supply of arms to Saddam Hussein, the omens do not look good."
What Did Britain Know About 911?
'Fight Smart', 28 Aug 2002

"The identities of at least 12 of Britain's most senior intelligence officers are to be exposed in a new video made by a team of rogue undercover army agents. The army agents, who were infiltrated inside the IRA and Sinn Fein, are releasing the video in the Irish Republic as part of a whistle-blowing campaign aimed at exposing the truth behind the Dirty War in Northern Ireland. As well as revealing the identities of some of the most senior army, police and MI5 officers working in Ulster, the agents also disclose the techniques used to handle agents and expose some of the most shocking operations undertaken by the British security forces in Northern Ireland. These include claims that MI5 helped one undercover army agent, who was working in deep cover inside the IRA for more than a decade, source infra-red equipment which was used to provide the IRA with state-of-the-art bomb detonation technology. The video, Agents: No More Lies, is to be sold in the Irish Republic to get around British national security laws and Ministry of Defence censorship....One of the agents behind the video is Kevin Fulton, a former British soldier. The Catholic from Newry was given false discharge papers from his regiment and told by the shadowy military intelligence agency, the Force Research Unit (FRU), to infiltrate the IRA. As part of long- running investigations by the Sunday Herald into Ulster's Dirty War, Fulton has already claimed he warned RUC Special Branch that the Omagh bombing was being planned at least 48 hours before the Real IRA attack killed 29 people. Last week in the Sunday Herald, Fulton revealed that he took part in a series of terrorist crimes in order to preserve his cover inside the IRA. He said that at all times his handlers in the FRU were aware and also encouraged him to take part in robberies, bomb-making and the movement of weapons.... The FRU is under investigation by Scotland Yard commissioner Sir John Stevens for colluding with paramilitaries in a decade-long campaign of state-sponsored assassinations. It is alleged FRU officers handed agents in both the IRA and the UVF details of targets. The most controversial death being investigated is that of the Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane, who was shot dead by loyalist paramilitaries in 1989. It's alleged the FRU gave details of Finucane to loyalist terrorists who then carried out the murder. Kerr is to be interviewed in relation to this in the next few weeks.... Last week, Fulton told the Sunday Herald that his handlers in the FRU told him that his illegal undercover work had been sanctioned in 1980 by the Thatcher cabinet.... Army and intelligence sources have reacted with horror to news that the video is to be released before the autumn."

Confessions of a secret agent turned terrorist
Sunday Herald, 23 June 2002

"Fifteen years after the terrorist bombing of a disco in Berlin, a German court has found four individuals guilty of the attack which killed two American servicemen and a Turkish woman. But a documentary on German public television aired in 1998 disputes the case brought by German authorities against the group, presenting chilling evidence that the main suspects in the 1986 La Belle disco bombing worked for American and Israeli intelligence. The bombing gave President Ronald Reagan the pretext to order the bombing of Libya. The bombs hit Libyan leader Mu am mar Qaddafi’s home, killing at least 30, including one of his infant children. Qaddafi was uninjured. The TV documentary said its findings are significant today because the bombing of Libya is being cited as a precedent for America’s war on terror in Afghanistan and other countries around the world."

"The Dutch government has released a report that details the alliance between the United States and the Islamic effort to help Bosnian Muslims. The report determined that the United States provided a green light to groups on the State Department list of terrorist organizations to operate in Bosnia. This included the Lebanese-based Hezbollah. For the European Union, the U.S. effort marks a stain that calls into question Washington's war on terrorism. For nearly a decade, the Clinton administration helped Islamic insurgents aligned with Chechnya, Iran and Saudi Arabia destabilize the former Yugoslavia.... More than a few European countries, consequently, have turned their nose up at the Bush administration's appeal to take Islamic terrorism seriously."

"Forget the war on terrorism. The United States is once again supporting the drug dealers, gangsters and warlord fundamentalists. The other day a [US] State Dept. official met Chechnya’s self-declared foreign minister, Ilyas Akhmadov. The Russians were dismayed. Having thrown their lot in with the supposed common struggle against terrorism, they find the Americans giving support to terrorists. .....The Russians professed to be 'amazed' that the United States, as Agence France Presse reported, would meet with Chechens, 'whose direct links with Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda are being proven with constantly emerging, irrefutable evidence…' Chechnya has always been seen here as a rerun of Kosovo, which itself was a rerun of Afghanistan...."

"...'He may be a son-of-a-bitch,' President Franklin D Roosevelt is said to have commented of the brutal Nicaraguan dictator, Anastasio Somoza, 'but he's our son-of-a-bitch'.

"Canada's Prime Minister has said that the United States and the Western world were partly to blame for the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington a year ago. Jean Chretien spoke in a pre-taped interview shown on the CBC channel hours after he attended ceremonies in New York and urged Canadians to join in mourning with their American neighbours. An aggressive foreign policy, and lack of sensitivity to poverty and social problems in the Third World were being used by religious fanatics to spread hatred of the US, he said 'There's a moment [in history] when you have to stop.' Mr Chretien said that America could not exercise its power 'to the point of humiliation of others'. That was what the Western world had to realise.'We're looked upon as being arrogant, self-satisfied, greedy and with no limits. And September 11 is an occasion for me to realise it even more.' Mr Chretien tried earlier this year to interest the US and other Western countries in a multibillion-dollar fund to rescue Africa from poverty, famine and disease. His failure left him bitterly disappointed. His views also reflect those of his country. In a recent poll 69 per cent of respondents said that the US had someresponsibility for the attacks. Fifteen per cent said that the US was entirely responsible."
Us Policy Blamed For Terror Raids
London Times, 13 Sept 2002

"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them! How vile and despicable seems war to me! I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. My opinion of the human race is high enough that I believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the peoples not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests acting through the schools and the Press. The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle "
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"The World As I See It"

"It is of course a complete absurdity that California, a place that is abundantly bathed in sunlight, should ever be forced to endure an energy crisis. It is hugely ironic that as the summer solar radiation intensifies and the air conditioning systems cut in the Californian energy crisis deepens. The radiation of the sun has been allowed to become an energy problem when in fact it offers an energy solution. But as Albert Einstein once penetratingly observed: 'Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them' . An important aspect of global economic sustainability is the ability to live off environmental income rather than environmental capital. The earth ultimately has only one continual source of environmental income - that which comes from the sun. This abundant natural resource can be harnessed directly through solar technology (thermal or photovoltaic - 'PV') or indirectly through plants. Plants convert solar energy through well known processes of natural law into vegetative matter. Fortunately the time has come when the central role of the sun in providing mankind with its environmental and economic security is being established. For the purpose of the removal of world poverty and the neutralisation of the negative social and environmental effects of globalisation the 'Global Country of World Peace' project has now been created. At the centre of this humanitarian project reside the pivotal roles of solar energy and Vedic Agriculture. It is no coincidence that the emblem chosen for this unique project for the 21st Century should be a symbol of the life giving energy of the sun."

"On September 11, 2002, the Maharishi held a press conference via satellite broadcast to spread his message .....
Maharishi considers President Busha 'rash man', in response to one reporter from AP [Associated Press],
who questioned how this approach was different from what is already being done by governments. Maharishi said,
'Imagination and wishful thinking will never do anything, Associated or disintegrated press, however it may be.
Wishful thinking belongs to this rash man, the president of the USA. Tell him that wishful thinking is useless. Practical
steps is what I am talking about to create a peaceful world. Your president thinks he can be a savior of the world
by destroying the world."
